A God Of My Own Choosing

Underneath a steeple,
Not so far away,
All the lonely people
On their knees to pray,
Begging for forgiveness,
Sins they can't forget,
Waiting for redemption,
But it hasn't happened yet.

I used to know that feeling,
For so many empty years,
Until I found a voice of truth
That's always been right here...

CHORUS:
In a God of my own choosing
Where love will conquer all.
The God of sweet forgiveness
Is the only one I call.
The one who lives behind each face,
And treats me tenderly,
A God of my own choosing sets me free.

Sittin' at the TV,
Watch the evening news,
All the lonely people
Drowning in their blues
Worshiping the altar,
Of money, fame, and stuff,
Yet somehow never knowing
It'll never be enough.

I used to know that feeling,
For so many empty years,
Until I found abundance
That's always been right here....

CHORUS:
In a God of my own choosing,
Where love will conquer all.
The God of sweet forgiveness
Is the only one I call.
The one who lives behind each face,
And treats me tenderly,
A God of my own choosing sets me free.

BRIDGE:
No fear of retribution,
No kingdom in the skies,
Jesus said "It lives within",
And there my freedom lies.

CHORUS:
In a God of my own choosing,
Where love will conquer all.
The God of sweet forgiveness
Is the only one I call.
The one who lives behind each face,
And treats me tenderly,
A God of my own choosing sets me free.
